Abstract:

This paper investigates the Multi-band OFDM (MB-OFDM) based physical (PHY) layer proposal for IEEE 802.15.3a working group on short-range high data-rate Ultra-wide-Band (UWB) communications. An overview of the MB-OFDM PHY layer architecture with its various parameters is presented and the optimal choice of critical parameters is discussed. Next, we derive the theoretical un-coded Bit Error Rate (BER) of MB-OFDM over the Rayleigh fading channel. Performance results over realistic IEEE UWB channel models are analyzed and compared to a pulsed-OFDM based approach.  Although pulsed-OFDM was presented in the literature as an enhancement to the MB-OFDM approach, simulation results showed that with same redundancy-factor, both systems give almost similar BER performance.

System Model of Underground UWB Based on MB-OFDM

To overcome the frequency-selective fading of ultra wide band (UWB) caused by the multi-path propagation in complicated environment of coal mines, an underground wireless communication system of UWB based on multi-band orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MB-OFDM) for coal mine is presented. Independent angle impulse response is used to build up revised channel model for underground tunn...

A Performance Analysis of 2-Parallel MB-OFDM UWB Receiver

This paper investigates the performance of the high speed 2-parallel MB-OFDM ultra-wideband (UWB) receiver. Achieving high speed and low complexity become a challenge of UWB system design. In our solution, a highspeed low-complexity 2-parallel MB-OFDM UWB system with fixed point data type will be described and simulated.

Performance Analysis of the Energy Detection Based ToA Estimator for MB-OFDM UWB

The Cramer-Rao Bound (CRB) analysis shows that ultra-wideband (UWB) technique can provide precise timing and positioning, thanks to its huge bandwidth. In this paper, we apply the UWB signal for the energy detection based time-of-arrival (ToA) estimation. We analyze the mistiming performance of the ToA estimator in a general Nakagamim channel. Analysis shows that the slope of the probability of...
